It's beginning to look a lot like Switchmas.
It's a very light week on the new downloads front - almost as if developers had a reason to hold off. Both North America and Europe get a new puzzle game published by the fine folk at Choice Provisions - Shift DX, which Neal helpfully reviewed for us.
There's still a Virtual Console release for North America, as Europe's beta test on F-Zero X concluded to allow it across the pond. Given the lack of new F-Zero releases (or is that ending tonight...?) it's nice to get your X Cup and Death Race on sometimes. As a bonus, it's available for less if you snagged it for the Wii off Club Nintendo.
Europe trades F-Zero for the strategic sequel action of Mercenaries Saga 3.
